I'm determined to go back and finish it sometime soon (before I forget what I've read) but I'll be more alert as to what's happening now that I have your thoughts.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164739473838041694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-12032376265224259622011-11-10T15:23:41.512-07:002011-11-10T15:23:41.512-07:00Anna-- Thanks!

You've put your finger on one of the potential issues with a personal narrative such as this. If you don't like the protagonist, it takes away from the book.
